Update 1.15.1 is available now!

[Aramar]

Thank you for update and fix for the bugs. But once again builders are priotized I am sad, because when builders say we need these roofs flexicolour, it happens next update, but animal people never get what we ask for forever

Though I really like this update, I agree that a lot is done recently for builders & content creators. Please don't forget the users that like the animals and want them to look good and function well. The recent update to the Orang and King Penguin are fantastic and I would love to see more of that.

While I understand what you mean, I have to say that I disagree. This little update 1.15.1 has brought the flexicolour to the thatch pieces that many builders asked for, but it also has a list of fixes for animals: the update fixed temperature ranges for two base game animals after almost 4 years, a fix for the fence requirements of the devil, several fixes to the penguin and kiwi...

I know there are things we still need like the emu walkthrough, or the fixed clouded leopard, or the diving Nile monitor, but that doesn't mean Frontier is prioritising builders. I think they have been doing a great job improving animals in the last few updates too.

Last year anniversary update brought many fixes related to animals and I hope this year will be the same.

or the diving Nile monitor

I don't use the animal much at all but I'm surprised it's taken this long to do this. Surely they can re-use the animations from the AWM, like how they reused the gibbon animations for the orangutan.

I thought the problembwith the oranguran was that they couldn't reuse the gibbon animations, no?

Frontier in accidentaly leaked video from 2020 used zebra animations on elephant and bear fighting animations on tortoise (!) as example to show how great and flexible their new animal creation system is. I simply cant believe in such excuse lol.

@Aramar reguarding the anniversary update I personally think some remaster work to some of the base game animals and Malayan tapir would be the best anniversary gift they could give us. A animal will always do but I’d be even more excited for the above.

I believe they have reused them. We never actually learned what the problem with it was, it was all just speculation. IMO it looks like gibbon brachiation but slower.

Not necessarily "reused". They are called to perform specific animations on specific pieces, and in this case, they allowed that same cue to work on the Orangutan.

Awesome, update and bug fixes! Any chance being a few years into the game now we will get an updated and more accurate Lion skin?

 

[BernyMoon]

Love the updates.

May I know this?
Sorry I ask this but how will I know that Planet Zoo will stopped releasing DLC packs featuring animals, or run out of them, or unable to release? I might/could ended up waiting for a pack for me to see for way/far more than three to four months (That's how long the next pack will be released after the previous one.)

You will find out like everyone else, when dlc stops releasing after a period of time then everyone knows support has ended. There isn't really any notable signs apart from a possible large expansion pack which is more expensive than previous dlc.
